Hawkeye defense saves the day

After giving up 3 straight scoring drives in Saturday's third quarter, the Hawkeye defensive unit clamped down in the 4th allowing for the biggest comeback win in school history. Coach Kirk Ferentz calls that progress.

Now the Hawks face a Louisiana-Monroe team that led 23rd ranked TCU well into the second quarter before calling by 3 touchdowns.

"They give you some unusual things that we're not used to seeing. It's going to eat up some practice time today, tomorrow, all week, to make sure we get everything covered." Ferentz added.
